      We don't accept models because they somehow correspond to a magical platonic "true" reality. We accept them because they predict observations to a reasonable degree of accuracy, with an acceptable parsimony of complexity.

      I have a prediction: the earth will continue revolving around the sun. Didn’t think I’d have 2 + 2 = 4 *and* earth revolves around the sun conversations in one day, but considering this is happening in the context of a woke agenda I’m not surprised.

      Okay you actually understand that there is no privileged frame of reference when deciding whether "the sun goes around the earth" or "the earth goes around the sun" right Is Einstein "woke"? Is relativity "woke"?

      Replying to @arthur_affect @izs and

      Are you suggesting that because of the theory of relativity Einstein ceased to hold the understanding that the earth revolves around the sun? At best that’s silly semantics if you wish to redefine “revolve.” Einstein was not woke. You clearly are.

      What do you believe to be Einstein's thoughts on the relations between the earth and the sun?

      I believe he understood that there was no privileged frame of reference and that one could imagine either the Earth or the Sun as a fixed point if one so chose That's literally what that means

      Indeed general relativity, with its almost trollish insistence that there is no distinction between acceleration and gravitation, depends on "radical copernicanism" (not only are we not the center of the universe, it has no center, and therefore everything is the center)

      Replying to @arthur_affect @izs and

      Your wording here says a lot: Einstein was pretty "trollish" for copernicanism. Happens that consistency of perspective, rather than silly pretzeling for different ways of knowing, is quite productive. Good luck attempting to foster a woke world that dismantles consistencies.

      And actually you owned yourself here too, because Einstein's great downfall in later life was his absolute refusal to "wrap his mind around" the "other way of knowing" represented by quantum mechanics and being humiliatingly proven wrong by experiment

          In his defense, it's enormously frustrating! But that's the entire thing: you learn how to re-evaluate even the most fixed ideas you have in light of new information or a new context.

          And yeah - you can probably get through life for the most part without ever really caring. There's a lot of stuff you never have to care about and can still live. It's one thing to say that X Y or Z is a waste of time but that doesn't disprove them.

          The apparent inconsistency between relativity and quantum physics - the lack of a single "way of knowing" that works at all scales for all things, a "Theory of Everything" - is famously the status quo in physics Sorry if you don't like it but science is not about your feelings

          quantum physics exists as a discipline because at that size the simple act of measuring a thing fucks with the results
